Hi!
Today I upgraded the lxappearance on my Archlinux.
But, when I tried to modify the fonts type and size, no modification occured.
It must be a Bug in this new version.
I tried the svn version too, but, the same problem occured.

I'm running it on Tiny Core Linux 2.7 compiled from source. Font and size setting work as expected. For me it doesn't look lxappearance issue.

the ~/.gktrc-2.0 is updated, when changed. But nothing changes on the desktop. When opening lxappearance in the font-drop-down is still "Sans 10" displayed.
Someone knows how to solve this ?

I've got the same problem and I'm baffled.
Everything else on my LDXE setup works perfectly, but even though I can see all the themes, fonts and icons in lxappearance, and I've tried all the other possible solutions through googling this and other forums (e.g. moving themes and icons to my home directory and messing with the .gtkrc files), I simply can get lxappearance to make a change.
Will keep googling and naturally write back if I get anywhere
